Quite often, situations arise when we certainly need to get in touch, but when doing this so that no one on the network notices us. That is, to be offline in contact. In the same social network Odnoklassniki there are no problems with this. Yes, you need to pay a certain amount for invisibility mode, but still.
As for how to be offline in contact - here it is more and more problematic. The fact is that the usual VKontakte functionality does not provide such an opportunity. However, there are some workarounds that allow us to achieve what we want.
The first way to be offline
in a contact is achieved using the Mozilla Firefox browser. First of all, in the address bar of this browser, we need to enter the following "about: config" (naturally, without quotes) and press "Enter". After performing these operations, the
Firefox settings window should open
.In this window there will be a field called "Filter". There again, you need to enter a specific command. This time it's “network.http.redirection-limit” (again without quotes). The value of the appeared parameter needs to be changed to 0. In this case, 0 means that the browser is not allowed to handle all kinds of redirects. By the way, the settings window should not be closed yet.
Now you can go to the main page of VKontakte and enter your username and password. But that is not all. We return to the network.http.redirection-limit parameter, and set what was previously. By the way, when you enter the site will give an error - but it does not matter, it should be so. And one more limitation - you can’t go to the user’s pages, including this applies to your own page.
The next way, how to be offline in contact, works everywhere. One catch - it is too long, but you do not need to change anything in your settings. So, you need to go to the site in the "My Messages" section, and do not touch anything for about 15 minutes. During this time, the connection timeout will expire. But you can’t access the main pages of users in this case either.
The third way to be in offline contact is exclusively for the Opera browser. First, we need to tweak the settings a bit again. In principle, the essence here is the same as in Firefox, but this is done in a completely different way. To begin, open the “Tools” tab, select “Settings”, the next menu “Advanced”, and there we click on “Network”. Here you need to uncheck the option “Enable automatic redirection”. And after that we do everything, as in the first version - we go to the main page, enter our data and so on.
Well, and answering the question of how to be offline in contact, it is worth remembering about the existing fourth method. Like all others, it is simple - however, there are no restrictions. It is enough to install the Agent VKontakte program on your computer, and then use it to select the necessary function. As mentioned above, there are no restrictions, you can not only listen to music and visit communities, but also view the pages of your friends. But most often it happens that we go to social networks for exactly this - to find out what's new in our friends.
